It seems to me that the real winter doesn't arrive until January. It's dark, cold and nature is still sleeping. Even so, I look forward to this quiet month with plenty of time to sew.

Moonflowers Garden
Teasle and Peach two Siamese cats, live with Carolyn and her husband Tony in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. Carolyn sews and does crafting and loves her books.
"When we were small we read about the Magic Wishing Chair and The Magic Faraway Tree. Bedtime stories took us to Moominland, Moonacre, and Down the Bright Stream. I wished I was Mary Poppins, and listened to the tale of Sleeping Beauty.
I learned my wild flowers and trees with the Flower Fairies. Soon I found Middle Earth, saw The Dark Crystal, embraced Elfquest and went to Hogwarts : )
Now my ball jointed dolls are the ideal blank canvas to create 3D characters of my own. Each outfit I create has its own little story to tell.
To live in the magic is just the way I am. When I see a toadstool at the edge of the wood I see a pixie house. To me a flower makes the perfect hat for an elf or a bright fern leaf is actually a fine umbrella. A white feather floating down is the sign of an angel, the sun shining through a crystal reveals fairies dancing around the room.
It's everywhere, that magic" ^_^

Spring cleaning, Satsuki and Totoro

I don't like housework at all but when the Spring arrives I always get the urge to sort through and tidy up our ever bulging cupboards and drawers.

At the beginning of May the weather was pretty dry. The garden looked a little worse for wear and was desperately in need of a good drenching. I could have gone round with the watering can but it doesn't work the same kind of magic as rain. Besides, I had other things to do and I was feeling inspired to work on a new doll.
Finding Moonflowers Garden

Moonflowers Garden is home to my assortment of Ball Jointed Dolls. Moonflower was my first girl - it was love at first sight with her ! She is my Titania, founder and keeper of the garden; she holds the key that nurtures the enchantment of this beautiful place.
